nice surprise



Howdy

I was treated to a nice surprise when a female Red-breasted Grosbeak visited 
my backyard. She stopped for a drink from the bird bath.

I haven't seen my hummer or catbird for over a week now. With all the winter 
birds being reported online, that means we're almost past migration and into 
the winter birding season. That means ducks and loons on lakes!!

I'm going to keep the hummingbird feeder up this winter. After hearing the 
Sargeants talk in Charleston, I am inspired, and hope for a surprise winter 
hummer! After seeing Judy's Anna's Hummingbird enjoying the pineapple sage in 
Charlotte, I had to buy one too. Last week (after the summer hummers had 
left!) the sage started blooming. Beautiful red flowers!

Have a nice weekend of birding!
